  • 1.1 tablespoon butter for sautéing
  • 8.8 ounces cremini mushrooms sliced earthy and rich in flavor
  • 0.55 medium onion chopped for depth of flavor
  • 1.1 tablespoon Dijon mustard adds tanginess more to taste
  • 1.1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce enhances flavor more to taste
  • 3 cloves garlic minced for a robust garlic taste
  • 0.75 cup chicken broth low sodium preferred
  • 0.55 cup full-fat sour cream for a creamy finish

Equipment

  • 1 Large skillet Used for cooking chicken and making the sauce
  • 1 Sharp knife For cutting chicken into even pieces and slicing mushrooms
  • 2 Mixing bowls One for seasoning chicken and another for dredging in flour
  • 1 Wooden spoon or spatula Perfect for scraping browned bits when deglazing the pan
  • 1 Measuring cups and spoons For accurately measuring liquids and seasonings
  • 1 Meat thermometer (optional) To ensure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F

Method
 

  1. Cut the chicken into 1-inch pieces. Season with garlic powder, salt, and pepper, then dredge each piece in flour.
  2. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken in two batches to avoid overcrowding, browning each side for about 3 minutes or until cooked through and golden. Once done, set the chicken aside.
  3. Add butter to the same pan and let it melt. Stir in the mushrooms and onions, sautéing for 6-8 minutes until they release moisture and become nicely browned.
  4. Add the Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and minced garlic. Sauté for about 1 minute to infuse the flavors.
  5. Pour in the chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits from the pan. Stir in the chicken and cook for an additional 2 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  6. Add the sour cream, stirring to combine, and let it heat through for a minute. Be careful not to let it boil to avoid curdling. Season with more salt and pepper if needed and serve immediately.
